There\u2019s even a neat little bar with twin champagne coolers, glasses and a bespoke leather picnic holdall hidden beneath the sunbed\u2019s headrest.\r\n\r\nPleasing as these features are, it\u2019s the drivetrain that will make or break this craft. Twin 55kW Torqeedo electric motors fed by a pair of BMW i3 batteries provide the power, while a pair of retracting foils fore and aft deliver sufficient lift for it to rise 2-3ft above the surface of the water.\r\n\r\nThis allows for a claimed top speed of 38 knots and a range of 40nm at 24 knots. We also like the fact that all three of the foil struts remain hidden inside the mouldings when raised yet it can still pootle along at displacement speeds in less than 2ft of water.\r\n\r\nWe haven\u2019t yet had a chance to sea trial it but given the thought that has gone into its design and the quality of its carbon fibre hull and fittings, we have high hopes for it.\r\n\r\nEnjoy the tour...\r\n<h2>Edorado 8S specifications<\/h2>\r\nLOA: 27ft 3in (8.35m)\r\nBeam: 8ft 2in (2.5m)\r\nEngines: Twin Torqeedo 55kW electric motors\r\nTop speed: 38 knots\r\nPrice from: \u20ac425,000 ex tax\r\nContact: www.edoradomarine.com","excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Edorado 8S may not be the first foiling electric boat but it certainly looks like being the most luxurious.
